Nimal Wijesinghe
The A - 12 highway from Nochchiyagama in Anuradhapura district to
Trincomalee will be converted to a modern highway. The World Bank will
provide US $ 243 million to renovate 130 kilometre road.
Sri Lanka’s World Bank project Director Gajaba Gunawardane said the A
- 12 high way has been a historical roadway since Mannar, Vavuniya,
Puttalam and Anuradhapura districts have access to the East along the A
- 12 road.
Nation Building Minister S. M. Chandrasena said the road construction
project would be inaugurated on November 6 at Horowpothana.
